· Translation: KJV

1 Chronicles 6:79and Kedemoth with its suburbs, and Mephaath with its suburbs;

The setting

Post-exilic Jerusalem, ~450 BC. The chronicler continues the meticulous record, ensuring no Levitical inheritance is forgotten, in what is now central Jordan near the Dead Sea...

The emotion here: methodical care for those who served but owned nothing

The original word

migrash (מִגְרָשׁ) — pasturelands, the life-sustaining grazing areas that made survival possible

Why it matters

Kedemoth means 'eastern parts'—it was literally on the frontier of Israelite territory

Read with care

What most readers miss in 1 Chronicles 6:79

The repetition isn't boring—it's emphasis. Every single pastureland mattered for survival

Common misconceptionThese verses seem repetitive and meaningless, but they're actually showing how God ensures His servants never lack what they need—down to the last acre.
